Hello friends OutputStreamWriter.getEncoding() is documented in Sun's 1.4.2 apidocs to return the "historical" name of the used encoding. In the java.nio.charset.Charset docs "historical name" is defined as "Some charsets have an historical name that is defined for compatibility with previous versions of the Java platform." I couldn't find any more information about the historical encoding names (such as a list) in the api specification.
Is running a program like the one attached below in Sun's java an ok way of gathering the information needed to implement the "historical charset" functionality? If nothing unforeseen happens I might be contributing code to classpath in the future. Where can I find the copyright assignment document discussed in the Hackers Guide? cheers/noa -- And the lions ate the christians and the christians burned the witches, and even I am out of explanations -- Ola Salo gpg fingerprint: F3C4 AC90 B885 FE15 344B 4D05 220B 7662 A190 6F09 _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
